RDM Scortch

Look at it this way. When we go from 80-90 they'll give you a trait that lets you cast Verflare after Verholy and vise versa so you can VerFlare > Scorch > VerHoly > Scorch.
(BTW if this happens it's not my fault. I was just joking Although I also wouldn't be sad if it did.)

I have recommended before a trait to allow you to cast a Verfinisher outside of the melee combo -- something like either an upgrade to Acceleration, or a proc on initiating a certain chain of spells (ie using Fire, Ice and Lightning magic procs Verholy to balance it out).

That's a long way off in my mind though, and was more designed to facilitate ideas I've seen about "give us a stronger combo finisher that only procs when you've used both Verholy/Verflare."

They could go the SMN route. SMN has to have 2 Dreadwyrm Trances to summon Bahamut. They could always give you a spell that you have to cast VerFlare or VerHoly twice. But at that point it's not really any different than what Scorch does.

Which is exactly what I'd want to avoid. SMN's buildup time was absurd and I'm hoping the changes in ShB will substantially trim it down.
